Do you have a Yearning to be Gardening? Our Church campus has some beautiful areas that need some attention. A Master Garden Plan will outline areas to add in plants of color and texture. Come and learn how to trim roses and plant some love and fragrance to add to our church's gardens and quiet spots of reflection.
Call or email Peggy Thomas to let her know you want to join me for garden fun. This is a great way to cope with the Pandemic by getting back to Nature. Nature Nurtures and you find Peace in the garden. Come find God's artwork in plants and enjoy the butterflies and birds visiting sanctuary places at OLM. You will have A New Garden to Love at Church while volunteering once a week in a mask and social distancing among the flowers.Thank you.Mary Ann RushGarden Ministry Coordinator -

Parking Lot Masses
If you pictured parking lot Masses at Our Lady of Malibu parish as long lines to get in and longer delays to get out, you would be mistaken. Due to brilliant planning by the staff and excellent execution by the volunteers, the drive-in Masses at OLM are the next best thing to live gatherings in church. Just exchanging a smile and a wave with your OLM brothers and sisters helps keep us connected. And, above all, we are able to receive the Eucharist with minimum exposure to the dangers of Covid19.
Public Address System
Although the school outdoor speakers are functioning, you may want to listen to the service over your car radio. Tune in to 87.9 FM with car engine off. Thanks Peter!
Guaranteed admission, however, is on a reservation basis because we are limited to 35 vehicles, so please go to the News page for registeration links and more information on the procedure. Remember, you must re-register each week.

Zoom Mass Option Continues
I am aware that a number of you still do not feel comfortable returning to Mass, whether in the church or the parking lot. Please be assured that we did not forget about you. We will continue our Zoom Mass offering until that time when we are set up for live-streaming inside the church. However, the new version of Zoom Mass will have an added benefit…the Eucharist!
We will Zoom the 10am Mass every Sunday. Please EMAIL FR.MATT for the link and password: frmatt@olmalibu.org. Approximately a half-hour after Mass is complete, I will be distributing Communion to all who care to drive to the church, from 11:30a-12:00p. This will allow you to receive the Lord without the anxiety of being in a crowd. There’s no need to call or email, just make sure to arrive at church within the stated times. If you arrive early, please be patient because we will be working to clear the parking lot and break down our Mass setup. The time was scheduled to allow people to come from the northern and southernmost points of Malibu following Mass. -
OLM Outreach Ministry's "Move Hearts" Program Begins
OLM’s role is to help families make the transition from TLC temporary housing to permanent housing. We start by getting to know the family through TLC zoom meetings, assessing their needs, (furniture, clothing, food & supplies) and acting as their “moving and settle-in” team. More information to follow as we get this program up and running.

Mexico Mission Youth Report
This week we were privileged to have three of students studying to be doctors take time out to visit families. There are people who just need to be checked from time to time because it is difficult for them to obtain medical services. We ended up visiting 9 families in one day, including 3 new families.
One medical student, Joselin, visited a 32-year-old man named Jose Luis, who suffered a gun shot wound 3 years ago in his leg. He has had some surgeries, including one to put in a metal plate. However, something went amiss, and his bone broke back through the skin. He has been cleaning this wound with female napkins, since those are the most affordable clean gauss-like item. He has not been able to work and must live very modestly with his wife and daughter. Joselin cleaned the wound, and we gave him some better bandaging materials. -
Funds for Mexico Mission 2020
Our regular volunteer caravan to Tijuana has been temporarily suspended due to the pandemic. In lieu of the dozens of gift bags that are usually distributed, it has been suggested that we make cash donations for a substitute gift to Fr. Nick's parish in La Morita. Please send checks to the OLM Office with a note that earmarks the Mexico Mission Fund. For more information please call: Peggy at: 310.456.2361.
